 *  <li>space - the space character ({@code ' '}, char 32)</li>

 *  <li>trim - the characters &lt;= 32 as in {@link String#trim()}</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>{@code StringUtils} handles {@code null} input Strings quietly.
 * That is to say that a {@code null} input will return {@code null}.
 * Where a {@code boolean} or {@code int} is being returned
 * details vary by method.</p>
 *
 * <p>A side effect of the {@code null} handling is that a
 * {@code NullPointerException} should be considered a bug in
 * {@code StringUtils}.</p>
 *
 * <p>Methods in this class give sample code to explain their operation.
 * The symbol {@code *} is used to indicate any input including {@code null}.</p>

        /*
        This implementation only computes the distance if it's less than or equal to the
        threshold value, returning -1 if it's greater.  The advantage is performance: unbounded
        distance is O(nm), but a bound of k allows us to reduce it to O(km) time by only
        computing a diagonal stripe of width 2k + 1 of the cost table.
        It is also possible to use this to compute the unbounded Levenshtein distance by starting
        the threshold at 1 and doubling each time until the distance is found; this is O(dm), where
        d is the distance.

        One subtlety comes from needing to ignore entries on the border of our stripe
        eg.
        p[] = |#|#|#|*
        d[] =  *|#|#|#|
        We must ignore the entry to the left of the leftmost member
        We must ignore the entry above the rightmost member

        Another subtlety comes from our stripe running off the matrix if the strings aren't
        of the same size.  Since string s is always swapped to be the shorter of the two,
        the stripe will always run off to the upper right instead of the lower left of the matrix.

        As a concrete example, suppose s is of length 5, t is of length 7, and our threshold is 1.
        In this case we're going to walk a stripe of length 3.  The matrix would look like so:

           1 2 3 4 5
        1 |#|#| | | |
        2 |#|#|#| | |
        3 | |#|#|#| |
        4 | | |#|#|#|
        5 | | | |#|#|
        6 | | | | |#|
        7 | | | | | |

        Note how the stripe leads off the table as there is no possible way to turn a string of length 5
        into one of length 7 in edit distance of 1.

        Additionally, this implementation decreases memory usage by using two
        single-dimensional arrays and swapping them back and forth instead of allocating
        an entire n by m matrix.  This requires a few minor changes, such as immediately returning
        when it's detected that the stripe has run off the matrix and initially filling the arrays with
        large values so that entries we don't compute are ignored.

        See Algorithms on Strings, Trees and Sequences by Dan Gusfield for some discussion.
